I have been using Dropbox as a location to store the zipped executables of my games so that players who do not have ADRIFT installed on their PC's can download and play the games.

Since I uploaded the zipfile of my latest game 'The Lost Children' to Dropbox, my account has been temporarily disabled due to "excessive traffic". Quite what this means I have no idea, it has never happened before.

I have been thinking of finding an alternative to Dropbox anyway, because there is no option available which will tell me how many times the game files have been downloaded.

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Dropbox, especially one which might be able to tell me how many times a file has been downloaded. I only want to use the website to store my zipped games on, nothing else. I would prefer a free one, but don't mind paying if it is not too expensive.

I have had the same problem with dropbox, because dropbox do not like a lot of downloads, so I found an alternative. Though this alternative does not fulfill your requirements for counting downloads, at least it works. I have simply purchased a webhotel through unoeuro ( http://www.unoeuro.com ). The price is 1.25 euro/month. I haven't bothered to make a webpage. All there is, is a folder I upload my games to, and then I can link to them. For those experienced with webpages there might be more elegant ways but this works.

I too would be interested in a cheap solution, which counts the number of downloads, so lets hope somebody else joins this thread.
